The move has already opened a new field of work for the firm, which has a strong East of England presence, and it is keen to build on its momentum.

“Earlier this year we opened an office in the City of London and we were keen to build on our credentials as a genuine London practice,” said Peter Gillman, managing director of Price Bailey.

“We are an ambitious firm that have been around for nearly seventy years and CWQ are a like minded firm with an established reputation.

“This merger will open up new markets including the entertainment industry and create specialist client sectors.”

Two partners, Ian Coombes and Richard Vass, together with a team of seven including manager, Ben Mari, have joined Price Bailey’s Eldon Street office in the City of London, situated near London’s Liverpool Street Station.

Price Bailey now employs over 210 partners and staff with the majority of its workers (183) based at its four East of England offices: Bishop’s Stortford, Cambridge, Ely, and Norwich. A further 15 are employed at its North London location.
